Pull out the cover of a secret uranium.

Perhaps the flap White House, whether or not Saddam Hussein tried to buy uranium from Niger state relations. Niger has been the best about the production of uranium for more than two decades. How many geologists know that the Republic of Niger, ranked fourth behind Canada. Australia. Kazakhstan in terms of total world production of uranium per year.

Named after the river that flows through it,. Producing nearly four times that of the Niger uranium was mined. Currently in the United States. Additional uranium mines in Niger than in Russia,. South Africa, India, China, Brazil,. Ukraine, or Uzbekistan, Namibia, in fact, if you add up the numbers. Of uranium from mines in South Africa,. China, India, Brazil, Czech Republic and Ukraine in the year. 2004, over Niger, which produced a total of six countries. Until the arrival of Dr. John North, the mining of uranium is pretty much a monopoly. Cogema and the interests of Spain and Japan.

"This is the fourth largest uranium producer in the world." The excited babble Dr. North and his mobile phone during our interview was recorded. "Niger has been mining uranium. Junior companies and fleet operators, and not explore this. .. The first is "talking about the North West. Mineral Ventures (TSX: NWT; OTC BB: NWTMF). "Imagine if Australia, Canada and Kazakhstan because they do not. The junior company is looking for uranium. It is ridiculous to even consider the idea of ".

Supply of the Republic of Niger. 9 percent of the annual production of the world to meet. The increasing demand for uranium to fuel nuclear reactors around the world. According to the NEA - IAEA Red Book 2003, sub - Saharan Niger Ranked. 4 in Australia, Kazakhstan and Canada. Total uranium reserves. Improvement in the year. 2005 it was reduced to seven under. - Explore the country in 1981, Niger produced. 4366 tonnes of total uranium. Just like everyone else. The decline in manufacturing, mining of uranium spot prices during the decade. 1980 and 1990 recession hit the country hard as it depends on the Niger uranium, rather than percentages. 30 percent of exports increased from $ 100 million five percent of state tax revenues derived from mining uranium ore.

Dr North said he had received a concession for Both companies in the North Atlantic. (TSX: NAC) and the North's mineral, he served as Director and Vice President of Geology and guide their colleagues. Marek Kreczmer "I've been around. Sahara Desert in the second field trip to a local geologist Niger before I decided to apply for permission. When I did this in 2004 with the Minister of Mines,. He said to me, "You know that you are the first to ever do this, and the only people who have done this. Energy companies or government. " So I told him that I wanted to ask the permit "will be. Second, for the North West. Ventures and other mineral resources for the North Atlantic.

Salt crust. Uranium in Niger.

North explains, "We choose a project based on geological materials that we feel are very important in the control and distribution of uranium,. Such as, but not limited to the northwest trend of the corridor,. Path fault trends northeast and inliers emerging through the lower strata of the rock. The "North said. The structure of the salt is the key to finding uranium in Niger Republic. "Crash northeast and southwest and inlier are all related to the salt. Structure, "North said. Inlier region or formation of older rocks completely surrounded by a layer that is less than "for over a decade ago. Oil fields have been understood and completed research on the accumulation of salt,. Rock salt and then move through the "pointed out above.

Salt is very common. But not in the rock and escape,. Norman explains. "When the molding and wall. diapirs (anticlinal fold greater sensitivity to salt has penetrated the stone above), "to be paid. Oil exploration geologist for your interest in this because they often form a barrier against penetration of oil and gas deposits. North is interested in They will have a different reason: "We recognize that. salt diapirs as they fled across the Niger,. To be consistent with the distribution of uranium deposits. ".

In the Republic of Niger's uranium pits excavated by the sandstone. "This is the reaction of deposit," North said. "They are often associated with degradation Structure and the salt diapirs and faults in the rock. While we do not really understand why we do it. We just know that there are relationships. Uranium deposits and structures in Niger. ".

That seems to have made the work of Dr. North for a walk in the park, or in this case, walking in the desert. How to be a concession to explore. 2,000 square kilometers each. That is about 24 km and 30 km respectively in the desert. "If you choose your target carefully. And stored in salt diapirs, they are actually narrow the search to "North said.". When we had our first ACC sensors, and to explore several radiometric, which will occur within the next few months, we will map the structure and properties and characteristics of the disorder. radiometric associated with them. When we have a goal. Penetrate at least 50 projects. "It seems to be no shortage of targets for drilling concessions.

The information above is believed that he could choose to ten high quality drill targets. Only from the geological map. "They appear as circular bull's eye on the geologic map of" North said heatedly, "in the wilderness, where they appear as low hills. They are anomalies in the terrain that you may have about 50 m in relief. This is only low because the desert is flat as piss on a plate, "North explained that you can. Directed by pointing at any stage of your vehicle and gas. .. "The only thing on your way to these mountains, these mountains are very low and is associated with an error. inliers (the old red stone surrounded by younger rocks). "First comes directly from topographic maps.

Vote of confidence about the current progress.

But what about the drilling rig for this project, ° or not. North agree to a worldwide shortage. He replied, "There are companies that drill in West Africa. The West African Drilling Services. - แlatktalึg! surprise! -. I have worked with them for four years. "North said to move forward with them." Frankly, no big deal, "he said, both the labor and drilling costs. .. "We pay all costs, including 150/meter dollars, "North said. Us, "labor costs are very low, about one-third the cost of North America. We use all local people, because that is what we do in Mali. There are a lot of training and skills. Geologists in Niger. "

Clearly, in the north west. Mineral Ventures is excited. "We are very pleased to be one. The first company in North America where it has been. Exploration permits in Niger. - A country that has not been explored using modern techniques and has now become one of the best kept secrets of the world's uranium, "said. Northwest President and CEO, Ahmed said. Kabir Reuters wire service story was published in March.

President of the Northwest Mining. Marek Krezcmer received for geologists. More than thirty years, seventeen spending on exploration in Africa, is also enthusiastic about the prospects of In Niger, "We know that the uranium ore to the surface, depending on Work done by Jon North, I think we can succeed. .. We're going to find uranium. "Kreczmer. Familiar with the geology of North Africa and do business in this "I am. Work in Tanzania, Zambia,. Swaziland, Ethiopia and Eritrea, "Kreczmer said. He is optimistic about the development of the northwest of the concession of mining uranium," a business plan. It is the discovery of mineral and (A) may be someone like Cogema become a partner of choice ".

Open pit uranium mines in the seventh. Cogema Arlitt feed mill, the percentage has been running. 0.3, with 2003 production at 1126 tonnes per year. In the second uranium mine, an open feed mill. Akouta that has been running at between 0.4 and 0.5 percent for 2003 production. 2017 tons per year Krezcmer described that permit the exploration of the Northwest for nine years, three-year license, renewable three times. Action by the country's mining. Krezcmer north to help a mining license will be between 25 and 70 years.

We are concerned about the political situation. But both the North and ensure that we are. Kreczmer this country is stable. "When I first went to Niger in November last year. 2004, and it was during the election. Finally, it looks good fun. Everyone has a little piece of cloth tied around their wrist or strap on their car antennas. Their representation of political cooperation "Kreczmer. Add "My experience is working. In Africa is because this country is heavily dependent on foreign assistance to the Bank a world-wide. Great influence. "

Republic of Niger North on confidence votes. He has worked many years as chief executive of the North Atlantic, which hopes. Kantela in the development of the gold property in Mali. Niger and Mali, and the population and geography, he told us. Northern Niger is going to be more aggressive in the development. Properties of uranium. He talked about how the President of Niger's Minister of Mines "to get out there and advertise Niger is open for business. We want people to come here and invest. We want to give them mineral rights, and we want them to do what I think of "From the looks of it. Before you jump on the train. Niger Music Resources and the North Atlantic north-west. But they will not last.

"My experience with Niger is that it is. Peaceful, democratic state with no civil unrest. Let's put it this way, they have very little civil unrest in France "Ironically,. France is one of the official languages ​​of the country. " You need to be fair, right? "North asked." Lately. Recently, the French stormed Bastille in France and they do not do anything like that in Niger. ".

To Dr. Jon North is excited? "The excitement in the air that we surveyed," he said enthusiastically, "We found several irregularities. radiometric relationship of inliers, we show the form. If that does not excite people, then I do not think their hearts are beating. ".
